Fund Documents
About risk
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund
can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks
of investing in the Fund are:
Market Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and
therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or
section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of
the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market
conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as
real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general
outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency
rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters,
widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts
of terrorism, economic crisis or adverse investor sentiment generally. During
a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may
decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance
that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience
significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse
events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have
unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock
markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets
may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same
direction at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up
and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of
investments, such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the
price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include, but are not
limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the
company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or
industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its
industry. To the extent that securities of a particular type are emphasized (for
example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or
value stocks, or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share
values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in
securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk
than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be
more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no
operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited
product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer
financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may
be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies.
They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings
expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements.
Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many
instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange,
where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is
typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities
exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject
to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of
its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small-
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings
in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if
they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize
a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is
realized at all.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be
adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or
taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or
increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible
seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in
which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and
the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange
controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent
regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements
and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more
susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information
available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its
foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of
negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of
securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments
through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in
value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short
periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always
successful.
Emerging Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred
to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility,
political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more
governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed
markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be
subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than
companies in more developed markets. Such countries’ economies may be
more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly
vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies in emerging market
countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure,
financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than
companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including
financial information, about such companies may be less available and
reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies.
Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many
emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the
ability to bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory
taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on
foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets
from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share
blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such
actions, may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign entities to
participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging
market countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging
market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in
settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely
information.
Debt Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the
issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically
causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater
impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities.
Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt
securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling
interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because
interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will
decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the
issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments
and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial
strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of
the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The
Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could
result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a
debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases in the
federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary
policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened
volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments,
particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of
interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed
income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to
heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a
result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline.
Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal
redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s
portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
High Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high
yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will
subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered
to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and
principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market
value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of
high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
Defaulted Securities Risk. Defaulted securities pose a greater risk
that principal will not be repaid than non-defaulted securities. Defaulted
securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities
may be subject to restrictions on resale.
Foreign Government Debt Risk. Investments in foreign government
debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve
certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt
securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities
that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay
principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt,
and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the
defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some
governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or
restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments.
Senior Loans and Other Loans Risk. Risks associated with an
investment in Senior Loans include credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity
risk, valuation risk and prepayment risk. These risks are typically associated
with debt securities but may be heightened in part because of the limited
public information regarding Senior Loans. Senior Loans generally are
floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate risk as the interest paid
on the floating rate loans adjusts periodically based on changes in widely
accepted reference rates. Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on
resale, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade
settlement periods may impair the Fund’s ability to sell Senior Loans within
its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately
value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement
periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a
result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing
transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. The risk of holding Senior
Loans is also directly tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the
issuing banks. The value of Senior Loans can be affected by and sensitive to
changes in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United
States and abroad. Senior loans are also subject to the risk that a court
could subordinate a senior loan or take other action detrimental to the
holders of senior loans. Loans are subject to the risk that the value of the
collateral, if any, securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the
obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. Loan investments are
often issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions which are
subject to greater credit risks than other investments including a greater
possibility that the borrower may default or enter bankruptcy. Highly
leveraged loans also may be less liquid than other loans. These risks could
cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which
in turn could affect the Fund’s returns.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and
asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations and
collateralized mortgage obligations, are subject to prepayment or call risk,
which is the risk that a borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later
than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. This
could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest
rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Mortgage- and asset-backed
securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that an
unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments,
causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the
Fund’s share price to fall. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the
mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of
mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to the Fund.
Privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities
may be less liquid than other types of securities and the Fund may be
unable to sell these securities at the time or price it desires. During periods
of market stress or high redemptions, the Fund may be forced to sell these
securities at significantly reduced prices, resulting in losses. Liquid
privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities
can become illiquid during periods of market stress. Privately-issued
mortgage-related securities are not subject to the same underwriting
requirements as those with government or government-sponsored entity
guarantees and, therefore, mortgage loans underlying privately-issued
mortgage-related securities may have less favorable collateral, credit risk,
liquidity risk or other underwriting characteristics, and wider variances in
interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics. The Fund
may invest in mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages, which are
loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with lower
capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages. Liquidity risk is even
greater for mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages.
Derivatives Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency,
commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the
use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including
counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that
the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay
the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative
contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require
payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a
position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the
underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is
substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the
anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s
returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments
may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may
be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or
price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during
which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions.
Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to
changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use
certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be
successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit
exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected
benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are
greater for the Fund than mutual funds that do not use derivative
instruments or that use derivative instruments to a lesser extent than
the Fund to implement their investment strategies.
Short Position Risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short
position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund
will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the
price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The
counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the
Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may
reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the
Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall
market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both
long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the
short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of
the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage,
which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of
the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns.
Commodity Risk. The Fund may have investment exposure to the
commodities markets and/or a particular sector of the commodities
markets, which may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments
in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Volatility in the
commodities markets may be caused by changes in overall market
movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and
policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates
and/or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign
inflation rates, investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge
funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, weather,
livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments or
supply and demand disruptions. Because the Fund’s performance may be
linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be
willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value
of the Fund’s shares.
Commodities Tax Risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked
derivative instruments may be adversely affected by changes in legislation,
regulations or other legally binding authority. If, as a result of any such
adverse action, the income of the Fund from certain commodity-linked
derivatives was treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund might fail to
qualify as a regulated investment company and be subject to federal income
tax at the Fund level. As a result of an announcement by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS), the Fund intends to invest in commodity-linked
notes: (a) directly, relying on an opinion of counsel confirming that income
from such investments should be qualifying income because such
commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36) of the
1940 Act or (b) indirectly through the Subsidiary. Should the IRS issue
further guidance, or Congress enact legislation, that adversely affects the
tax treatment of the Fund’s use of commodity-linked notes or the Subsidiary
(which guidance might be applied to the Fund retroactively), it could, among
other consequences, limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment
strategy.
Commodity-Linked Notes Risk. In addition to risks associated with
the underlying commodities, investments in commodity-linked notes may be
subject to additional risks, such as non-payment of interest and loss of
principal, counterparty risk, lack of a secondary market and risk of greater
volatility than traditional equity and debt securities. The value of the
commodity-linked notes the Fund buys may fluctuate significantly because
the values of the underlying investments to which they are linked are
themselves volatile. Additionally, certain commodity-linked notes employ
“economic” leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that
is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity,
commodity index, or other economic variable. Such economic leverage will
increase the volatility of the value of these commodity-linked notes and the
Fund to the extent it invests in such notes.
Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly
exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The
Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (1940 Act), and, except as otherwise noted in this prospectus, is
not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws
of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and
the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the
Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and
the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
Asset Allocation Risk. Because the Fund typically invests in a
combination of securities, the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment
objective depends largely upon selecting the best mix of investments. There
is the risk that the portfolio managers’ evaluations and assumptions
regarding market conditions may be incorrect. During periods of rapidly
rising stock prices, the Fund might not achieve growth in its share prices to
the same degree as funds focusing only on stocks. The Fund’s investments
in stocks may make it more difficult to preserve principal during periods of
stock market volatility. The Fund’s use of a particular investment style might
not be successful when that style is out of favor and the Fund’s
performance may be adversely affected by the asset allocation decisions.
U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government
agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could
affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be
given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies
and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
Financial Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S.
government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S.
and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer
confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly
and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s
operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends
heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the
attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular
investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience
losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the
Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
